P.S. Concerning asylum applications in European embassies in transit countries, I heard about the new regulation concerning Switzerland from Tunisia, where a Subsaharan African tried to do this last year, but then it was abolished. Refugees from Choucha camp, who are recognized, but did not get resettlement, went to some embassies in Tunis during the last days, but were refused to be received. Together with these refugees, we are fighting for access to Europe already for a long time, but UNHCR only offers so-called “local integration”. About 400 refugees refuse this for good reasons and are still in the camp which was closed end of June (see more on http://chouchaprotest.noblogs.org/).
Also in Morocco the situation is escalating, more and more people try to cross the fences of Ceuta and Melilla and the sea, and more and more migrants are pushed back and/or killed during police raids.
For all these migrants in transit countries it would be really good to go to embassies and other EU institutions and demand access to Europe. And also more resettlement places are necessary, even if we critisize the selective procedures.
